HPS Student Technology Survey / Spring 2016

Hello HPS Student,As we move forward with a goal of enhancing the integration of technology into instructional practices in the HPS, it is important that we consider students' access to the tools of technology. Hence, we need student help in determining what technologies you have available to you outside of school and how you view the role of technology in your education.
